Alleged Unconstitutional?Railroads 'J
in Pennsylvania Make a Statistical
Showing in Their Own
Behalf.
PPhiladelplhia, Pa., July 11.?The |J
of the railroads against the con- |,
6litulWna'il-y of the 2-cent railroad t,
fare l?w of Pennsylvania began here f,
today w^bon a hearing on the equity
case insMtuted by the Pennsylvania
railroad ft* restrain 4he city and
county fron^ji enforcing the law was
begun before Jmflges Wilson and And- ^
enrioil in commoii pleas court number
four. ft
President Jaimls McCreary of the
Pennsylvania raiWroad was in court all
day and will p.ifobably lake the wit- a,
ne.ss stand tomorrow. Anion [die I'
witnesses examined today were: Capt.
John P. Green, first vice president of
the company and Max liiebenaek, the
corporation's comptroller.
The general contention of the railroad
company is that the law is un- Sl
constitutional, that tlhe 2-cent rate is *v<
unreasonable and that the law was
enacted without any in vesication be- ''
ing made as to the fairness of the
rate.
The company, through its comp- w
It roller presented figures to show that
the average rate per passenger ppr 'l
mile on the Pennsylvania lines in this 01
state for the first three months of 01
the present year was as follows:
One way passengers 2.40(5 cents;
excursions or round trip 2.100 cents;
commutation 1.04(1 cents, and mileage *
I. 2 cents, or a general average for all
classes of paxseners of 1.007 cents.
The company also presented tig- ?
iires to show that it' the 2-cent faro j
law 'had been in force during January,
February and Mardi of this
year, the passenger business of the
company would have shown a deficit, r
Much of the day was taken up in
cross examination in an effort to /
learn by what method the company r
separated the passenger earnings from r
freight, etc. *

The State.
('lenison College, July 11.?The
board of trustees of Clemson college;""
adjourned today after a session of
near'v ihree days. All of the members
of the board have returned to
their respective homes.
T'.e matter of a commandant for q
the college is still unsettled, (before ^
the special meeting of the board in |t
August, a ci nvmittee consisting of f?. ()j
Duncan Bid linger, Alan Johnstone,
W. I). Evans and President Mell will ^
visit the war department at Washing'ton
concerning a commandant.
The members of t'he hoard have
practically decided that they want an
army olficer in preference to a gfradi
nate of some military academy who
i has not seen service. Your eorrcs- 'c
,,.;v pondent could not learn whether the
visit of this committee to the depart- j\
orient is in anywise connected with
Commandant (.'lav's leaving the col- .
i "A
lege.
.The motion h> ^cpairate the experiment
stations from the agricul- A
tural department has been tabled
and no separation will be made. The *p
stations will remain in the same associal
ion with the agricultural department
ns heretofore. It is understood cf
that the board will consider the enlargement
of tihe stations at the spec- A
aal meeting in August.
In after, these experimental ?ta- f
tions are the direct cause of the spec
in
ial meeting. The members of the
board do not, agree on tiho policy on
-which the experimental stations should ^
be run. The visit of the committee
to Washington probably has some
connection with these stations. ^
Whether Hie enrollment in the college
proper this year shall be (>00 or
L ,
00 has not boon determined upon. If m
k',,CMl Jl,e board moots in August, ii
lids that tho now donnitorv is noar
oinplotioii or is completed'then the
umber of students will be increased
i> NOD. While tiho boi.tr,I of trustees
id not take final notion in those iniorlanl
matters at this meeting, much
as accomplished beoauso evorythinir
4 in shape now for final action at
lie August meeting.
The finance committee mot today
irootIy alter the adjournment of t'he
oard. The committee chocked the
ooks of t'he college for (he last quarand
lot the contract for the uni- ,
miiis for next year.
